Villian is relatively new to table but has made himself known. Something like 85/30/12 over first 15 hands.

Comments on all streets is appreciated

I think I like it. You're not going to outLAG a LAG, so just calling is usually the better line when you're drawing. You got a free look at the river, which is nice. No way I'm folding the river to his raise.

If the river was a brick, were you planning on calling his inevitable river bet?

I'd call a river brick. This guy will likely bet with any piece of the board. Once it got checked through on the turn I figured he didn't have a pair. Ace high could still be out there but he probably has junk enough to make a blank river call profitable.

The only way to play it. You have to get to showdown against these guys, if he has A-high so be it. KT is a profitable calldown against a true maniac, especially on a rag board like that. NO WAY I'm folding that river raise.
